  Rethinking tobacco history: Commodities, empire and agency in global perspective, 1780–1960

  Tobacco was one of the most important globally traded commodities from the 17th century through to the present day, and yet it has received relatively little attention in the historiography of modern empires in comparison to other commodities, such as sugar or cotton. As a result, recent approaches to rewriting the history of European imperialism from a more global perspective have hardly been problematized with regard to the peculiarities of tobacco history. Nowadays, studies no longer understand empire as a rigid relationship between metropole and colonies, but take the dynamics of actors within an empire as seriously as the networks and global processes that crossed imperial borders, or indeed lay beyond them. The conference starts from this assumption.

  The Middle East and Europe: cross-cultural, diplomatic and economic exchanges in the early modern period (1500-1820)

  This conference is an international symposium that proposes to study the entire range of exchanges and relations established between these two areas during the Early Modern Times (1500-1820). Its main objective is to think about diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural links between Europe and the Middle East by calling upon over twenty researchers with specializations in the Arab, Persian and Muslim world. In addition, this conference will provide a comprehensive overview to date of the Arabian Gulf at a time of major political change, including the successive arrival of the European “trading empires”. It will focus on some of the methodological challenges raised by a global, connected and cross-cultural thinking approach to the History of the Middle East and Europe”.

  Multidisciplinary Approaches to Food and Foodways in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean

  Within the rapidly expanding area of research on food and foodways, the medieval eastern Mediterranean is still very much an unexplored area. The aim of the POMEDOR project (People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean) was to explore this new field in a multidisciplinary way and to stimulate further research.

  The Smaller European Powers and China in the Cold War, 1949-1989

  This international conference aims to examine the policies of the smaller European powers towards China – and vice versa – during the Cold War. Thereby it focuses, on the European side, on both Western and Eastern Europe – regardless of whether a country was part of the NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, the conference proposes to include both Chinas, namely the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (RoC). While this should allow for the analysis of different relational constellations, the chronological framework – that ranges from the Communist victory in China in 1949 to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989 – should enable us to identify policy shifts and patterns.

  Repenser la famille dans l'Égypte médiévale

  dossier spécial des Annales islamologiques 47

  L’ambition de ce dossier est d’inviter à repenser l’histoire de la famille dans l’Islam médiéval. En limitant les contributions à l’Égypte, on entend profiter d’une configuration documentaire exceptionnelle pour favoriser la contextualisation d’un objet trop souvent envisagé comme une évidence, égale et semblable d’une époque à l’autre. On abordera par exemple l’histoire de la parenté et de la formation du groupe familial ; l’histoire de l’héritage, des normes légales et des pratiques sociales en matière patrimoniale, mais aussi des autres formes de transmission familiale (des biens, des pratiques, des savoirs) ; l’histoire de l’éducation, de l’apprentissage et plus largement celle de l’enfance ; l’histoire des rôles sociaux au sein de la famille et de leurs représentations collectives. Les propositions sont à envoyer avant le 30 novembre 2011. Une table ronde réunira les auteurs à Montpellier en mai 2012.
